Sweden's Laureate: Selected Poems of Verner von Heidenstam/The Shipwrecked Man
THE SHIPWRECKED MAN.
After the storm
Smilingly he warms his outstretched hands
Over the quickly failing fire,
Lone on the cliff.
With the morn, embarked on his fragile raft,
He will be saved or die.
Smilingly he warms his outstretched hands
Over the quickly failing fire,
Lone on the cliff.
With the morn, embarked on his fragile raft,
He will be saved or die.
